Ideally you would have a nameserver to query for IP addresses, and perhaps another machine which connects to the internet (I use one of the campus machines, except for a few selected sites, to which SMTP connects directly, an uunet.uu.net for ! addresses). In addition to the three mailers provided by HP I find MH-mail (available via ftp from another machine on this campus) much more convenient, particularly since it interfaces with gnuemacs and/or xmh. Hope this sheds a different light on the question. Hardy Mayer ----****---- Professor Meinhard E. Mayer Department of Physics University of California Irvine, CA, 92717 USA
